Can you hear the drums
Fernado
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight
Fernando you were humming to yourself and sofly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums and sounds of bugle calls were coming from the far
They were closer now
Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid
Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say the roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry
There was something in the air that night the stars were bright
Fernando they were shinning there for you and me for liberty
Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose there is no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend
Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend
Fernando

Now we're old and grey
Fernando
And since many years
I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums
Fernando
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed
The Riogrande
I can see it in your eyes how you were to fight for freedom in this land
There was something in the air that night the stars were bright
Fernando
They were shinning there for you and me for liberty
Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose there is no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend
Fernando
There was something in the air that night the stars were bright
Fernando
They were shinning there for you and me for liberty
Fernando
Though we never thought that we could lose there is no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend
Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would my friend
Fernando
